Diane,
I spoke to John Danos.
We can set the date of hearing for the bonds at the 8/24 meeting. The agenda item and action need to occur after the
approval of the URA and plan.
Let me know how Steve wants to proceed, I need to let Dorsey know soon so they can prepare the proceedings. I'll use
a not to exceed amount of$31.2M as included in the plan. Dorsey will pull project language from the urban renewal
plan.
I'm out Thursday and Friday, so we will need to take care of Wed.
Thanks,
Duane
